a Sweet{est} Day.

Sweetest Day,

       happens only in the north... Or in the lives of those who care to be sweet.

Some people are [haters] some people are [lovers] of the day; and that's OK. I understand that it can be commercial. BUT. still. It involes being sweet to people & eating candy! Simply put. 

What's so wrong with that!?!?!? 

You can check out the Sweetest Day Wikipedia to learn more - CLICK the Click.

Anyways, just thought I'd mention this, but it has nothing to do with my real reason for posting. 

It just so happened that Kevin remembered about 8pm last night that it was in fact Sweetest Day.

So really if you hate Sweetest Day now, tell Kevin, he brought it up first. ;P

True { Sweetness } of the day...

 Kevin and I got to hang with some friends of ours at the orchard in Nelson county. [can't remember orchard name]

Tim and Sara are good friends whom we met back in the day in our Engaged class [4years ago?]. We've been in small groups with them for a total of three [or longer] years. Pretty crazy hun? We recently ended our time together, but the cool thing about it is I know we will always be friends. That's one big reason why I appreciate  Community Groups; you're given the chance to form lasting relationships that stay meaningful even when you no longer meet weekly. 

: Love these guys : They're awesome people : + awesome newbie parents :

"Stop, stop, my cuteness might break your camera."- Alaina 

She's loves being a mom & I love her being a mom. 

Isn't she precious!?

Dorky... but I like him.

::Nom Nom::

I don't know...I guess he was freaked out by the GIANT pumpkin behind us. ;)

Matthew.

Matthew; Chapters 5-7 are killing me. 

I can't bring myself to read anything else in the bible. 

God is speaking something to me here.

His word is life changing.

Read the Sermon on the Mount.

Don't stop until you really do all that it says. 

This could take me AWHILE.

I hope to share more later.

¹⁹"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. ²⁰But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. ²¹For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Matthew 6:19-21

Muffins made easy...

So, I'm not your average "I love to" bake or cook type person. I don't thrive on finding the best recipe or the best home cook meal like some ladies do. I keep it healthy, I keep the cook time short, and the meal simple. That's how it's done. 

Don't get get me wrong, I LOVE people who can cook well, and who's passion is cooking! I love food, and I love them for sharing their amazing food! I just don't like being the one to make that amazingness happen. ;)

Anyways, my friend Martha is one of these "I'm-amazing-I-can-cook-you-anything-if-you-want-me-to" type girls (she among many of my other friends). Martha has a blog where she posts recipes {check her out here: http://martarosa.wordpress.com/}, and she recently told me about this pumpkin muffin one that ONLY includes 4 ingredients! 

4, yes 4. OR 3 if your lazy like me. 

Now that's my kind of cookin! 

I was going to attempt to make these muffins a few weeks ago, but there was a pumpkin shortage here in the burg, and again I'm not adventurous enough to go out searching and searching if it's not at WalMart or Kroger. So get this, finally WalMart had the canned pumpkins, but none of the cake mix I needed! GUH! Thank goodness for Food Lion though, they had the mix {I should give FLion more credit than I do}.

Anyways, I thought it would be fun to take some pictures of this muffin adventure since the recipe is SO STINKIN EASY! 

It's delicious too! I bet everyone else already knows this recipe though, but hey I didn't!
